Frequently Asked Questions
We've Got Answers....
Is the procedure safe?
Yes. According to the U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention, abortion through the 12th week of pregnancy is 7 times safer than childbirth, and about twice as safe as having your tonsils out. In fact, the complication rate for abortion is very low, about 1%.
If I have an abortion, will I be able to have children in the future?
According to a study done in 21 countries by the National Abortion and Reproductive Rights Action League, women who have had abortions routinely go on to have normal pregnancies and give birth to health children. (Back to Top)
Does the procedure hurt?
Most women find the procedure
uncomfortable. Some women, perhaps because they are anxious about the abortion, or just particularly sensitive to pain, describe abortion as being quite painful. Every woman's body is unique, so every woman's experience is different.
How long will I be at the clinic?
The procedure itself usually takes less than 10 minutes. However, you can expect to spend at least 2 to 3 hours in the clinic filling out consent forms, receiving aftercare instructions, and having your vital signs taken. Also, all women spend at least 20 minutes in recovery, and women who were sedated for their procedure spend 45 minutes to an hour in recovery.
